Football Festival

On Tuesday afternoon English Park held a Female Football Festival to encourage girls to get into football. Since we are just next door, we got to take our girls and boys over to have a few games. It was a beautiful afternoon packed full of non-stop football. It was hot and thirsty work but heaps of fun. Hopefully after this, as well as the football lessons we have been having, we will have some girls and boys keen to get into football clubs. 

Rugby Visitors

Last week we had our second visit from Marcel Cummings-Toone and Belgium Tuatagaloa. They have "adopted" St Albans School for the 2013 ITM rugby season. Marcel used to go to school at St Albans! How cool is that? This visit, senior school children who weren't busy with Kapahaka got to have a game of dodgeball with Marcel and Belgium. They loved it, and so did we!

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet you wish you were here!

We have 6 whole people at school today! (7 if you count Ms A). We have Maddie, Niamh, Neve, Olly, Swastik and James.

First thing after the roll we headed out into the snow and down to Oak Leaf Cafe for a delicious hot chocolate. Yummo!!! Don't you wish you came to school now?

If you are at home, send us photos of your snow excursions. You can email them to Ms A. The address is on your homework sheets.

Have a super duper snow day!

Year 5 Big Day Out

On Tuesday the Year 5's headed off to Blue Skies for their Big Day Out. They had a fantastic day doing a confidence course, initiative activities and orienteering. It was fantastic to see them pushing their confidence and working together with their team mates to solve problems. Here are some photos from the day.
